Micropilot M FMR244 with FOUNDATION Fieldbus

Hauser
Output
The Micropilot is commissioned by entering an empty distance E (=zero), a full distance F (=span)
and an application parameter. The application parameter automatically adapts the instrument to the
process cond.. The data points “E” and “F” correspond with 4mA and 20mA for instruments with
current output. They correspond with 0 % and
100 % for digital outputs and the display module.
A linearization with max. 32 points, based on a table entered either manually or
semi-automatically, can be activated locally or remotely. This function provides a measurement in
engineering units and a linear output signal for spheres, horizontal cylindrical tanks and vessels with
conical outlet.

Equipment architecture
Stand-alone
The Micropilot M can be used for measurement in a stilling well / bypass as well as in free space.
System integration via Foundation Fieldbus
The system integration via Foundation Fieldbus is described in Chapter 5.5.
On-site operation:
• with display and operating module VU331,
• with a Personal Computer, FXA193 (RS232C) or FXA291 and ToF Adapter FXA291 (USB) and
the operating software "ToF Tool - FieldTool Package" respectively "FieldCare".
The ToF Tool is a graphical operating software for instruments from Hauser that operate
based on the time-of-flight principle (radar, ultrasonic, guided micro-impulse). It assists with
commissioning, securing data, signal analysis and documentation of the measuring point.
Remote operation
• with a Personal Computer, a Fieldbus H1 card (e.g. NI Fieldbus Interface Board) and a network
configuration software (e.g. NI-FBUS configurator) and the operating software ToF Tool.
